yes, I have this in Makefile.devel:

GNULIB_HOME=../../gnulib/gnulib
AUX_REQ=config.guess config.rpath config.sub depcomp install-sh missing
gnulib-update : force
	for f in $(AUX_REQ); do cp -afuv $(GNULIB_HOME)/build-aux/$$f 
src/build-aux; done
        ln -sv src/configure.in configure.ac
        $(GNULIB_HOME)/gnulib-tool --import --source-base=src/gllib \
                --m4-base=src/glm4 --aux-dir=src/build-aux --no-changelog \
                stdint stdbool regex fnmatch-gnu
        rm -fv configure.ac

$ make -f Makefile.devel gnulib-update
for f in config.guess config.rpath config.sub depcomp install-sh 
missing; do cp -afuv ../../gnulib/gnulib/build-aux/$f src/build-aux; done
ln -sv src/configure.in configure.ac
create symbolic link `configure.ac' to `src/configure.in'
../../gnulib/gnulib/gnulib-tool --import --source-base=src/gllib \
                --m4-base=src/glm4 --aux-dir=src/build-aux --no-changelog \
                stdint stdbool regex fnmatch-gnu
gnulib-tool: module config.guess doesn't exist
gnulib-tool: module config.rpath doesn't exist
gnulib-tool: module config.sub doesn't exist
gnulib-tool: module depcomp doesn't exist
gnulib-tool: module install-sh doesn't exist
gnulib-tool: module missing doesn't exist
Module list with included dependencies:
  absolute-header
  alloca
  alloca-opt
  configmake
.....

so, why is gnulib-tool talking about config.guess et al?

now to the even weirder part:
./configure --build build-O
created gllib with a circular symlink:
$ ls -l gllib/
total 80

so I blew it away and recreated it and now I get this:

$ make gllib
mkdir -p gllib
if test ! -f gllib/Makefile; then sh config.status --file=gllib/Makefile; fi
config.status: creating gllib/Makefile

there is no .deps in either build-O or build-O/gllib
